Two new Apple Pencil models are in development and will release alongside next-generation iPad Pro models next year, according to BloombergIt’s Mark Gurman.
Specifically, he said new versions of the low-end Apple Pencil with a USB-C port and the high-end Apple Pencil Pro were in the works.
Apple is working to meet upcoming EU requirements related to making batteries more replaceable, leading Gurman to believe that new Apple Pencil models could come with “new battery systems.” While this wording is vague, it seems to suggest that upcoming Apple Pencil models could have replaceable batteries.
No further details were provided, so we don’t know of any potential design changes or other new features planned at this time.
The current Apple Pencil with USB-C port was released in November 2023, while the Apple Pencil Pro followed in May 2024.
